  1. Pak 224-3published at 41.1 overs

    Babar Azam lofts it very high down the ground. Is he in trouble? No, the ball drops in front of JP Duminy, who pulls it in inside the rope.

    The value of singles is that it builds pressure on the bowler and then you can carve a four or six at the end of the over.

  3. Pak 222-3published at 42 overs

    Babar 67, Haris 40

    South Africa continues to dry up the boundaries for now as Imran Tahir gives up just five singles from his final over.

    Tahir finishes with 2-41 off 10 overs and a very lively innings, not taking a contentious catch and then taking a blinder.

    He's been booed by the Pakistan fans but gets a round of applause now.

    Pakistan need this partnership to carry on if they are to get to 300. How they finish this innings will be critical.

    Richard just shows the classic ignorance of the England cricket fan. ODI cricket is not just about smashing big sixes it is about scoring winning totals. If England had batted like Joe rather than Mo and Jofra then victory would have been certain versus Sri Lanka. And for all Braithwaite's heroics, a single off the ball he got out to would most probably have meant victory.

    I never know how they manage to deliver knuckle balls. It's hard enough doing it with your fingers, never mind your knuckles.

    Andile Phehlukwayo stops the rot, at least briefly, conceding just four off the 40th over.

    Imran Tahir sends down a wide, greeted with an ironic cheer from the Pakistan fans, who have nominated him as the villain of the piece today.

    A man who looks a bit like Ryan Sidebottom plays Layla by Derek and the Dominos on his bat guitar.

    The camera pans to Mike Rutherford of Genesis and Mike & the Mechanics, who is a guest today.

    Hello! Haris Sohail gets in a big stride and carves Imran Tahir out over extra cover for four.

    There are three stages to going on the attack...

    Go big.

    Go beserk.

    Go Brathwaite.

    Haris has a licence to thrash.

    Haris has taken the pressure off Babar - it means Babar can go steady while Haris goes beserk.

    Make that back to back fours for Babar!

    Chris Morris strays onto the pads. Bad idea. The set batsman flicks it away through wide fine leg to the fence.

  16. Pak 202-3published at 37.5 overs

    Haris Sohail backs away and tries to cut it into the stands again - it's a loopy top edge instead but it lands safely in front of third man for just a single.

    Babar Azam then guides Chris Morris very fine through the vacant slip region for four. Kane Williamson-esque. Beautiful.

    This is a great cameo from Haris Sohail. This partnership has to go deep now so Pakistan are searching for 300.

    Babar 52, Haris 30

    Imran Tahir appeals for something, anything, as his first delivery back hits the top of Babar Azam's leg and misses the stumps. That's just a leg bye though.

    Three singles from the rest of the over, Haris Sohail expertly dropping and running.

    Tahir is getting booed by the Pakistan fans. The atmosphere has been fantastic, to be fair. The game here against Bangladesh could be absolutely sensational.

    Faf du Plessis has had enough.

    Imran Tahir is back on.
